Israel, much like the fortress of Tel-Chai that Jospeh Trumpeldor fought to defend against Arab conquerors in 1920, finds itself beseiged by enemies both within and without. Terrorists, would-be friends inside and outside Israel, and even bad government officials. Here are the discussions of one proud Zionist resident on the state of the nation and abroad.

Druze policeman honored for efforts to stop jihadists in Har Nof

The police officer who was killed in the Har Nof synagogue terror attack, Advanced Staff Sgt. Maj. Zidan Saif, will be posthumously honored with a medal for his service in fighting the terrorists at the scene of the crime, Police Commissioner Yohanan Danino announced Wednesday while paying his condolences to Saif's family in the Druze village Yanuh-Jat. [...]

Danino told Saif's family that "Zidan was a police officer who made his commanders proud. The more we learn about the attack, the more we see what a hero he was. He acted courageously and honorably demonstrated the values and goals of the Israel Police in keeping the peace and ensuring security for all of Israel's citizens."

Saif's family thanked the police chief and his father said, "My son was killed while he was defending the homeland. These are the values and the education that he learned at home. The blood pact between the Druze people and the state of Israel is eternal. All that remains is to hope that peace will come and that Zidan will be the last victim."

Someday, the evils of Islam will be stopped, and then peace will be possible.

I'm Avi Green

From Jerusalem, Israel

I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
